Dealing with anxiety, depression, or trauma can deeply impact life. Anxiety might show up as relentless worry, panic attacks, and dread, overwhelming daily activities. Depression can bring persistent sadness, hopelessness, and isolation, hindering joy and motivation. Trauma may surface as relationship issues, inner critic, irritability, attachment problems, disrupted sleep or physical discomfort. These intertwined issues can create hurdles in your relationships, work, and self-esteem, forming a cycle that feels tough to break. Finding joy and meaning may feel elusive, feeling trapped by the past and overwhelmed in the present.

I believe each of us can live a fulfilling life by understanding the relationship between what we think, feel, and do in order to help us identify helpful and unhelpful ways of being. By letting go of what hinders us from reaching our goals, we can make intentional decisions and commit to attitudes that align with our values and goals. When we are faced with life hardships and feel stuck; intentional living reminds us that we have power over how we respond to situations out of our control. It’s about self-awareness and clarity about who we are and aspire to achieve.

My greatest reward professionally occurs when someone is set free from their doubts and regains their confidence. In my 25 years as a licensed professional counselor, I still share the feeling of pride when we walk through to a sense of security together. I've named my counseling practice "Serenity" because I believe that adversity will always interfere with our plans, and it's our challenge to meet these complications with fluidity and acceptance.

I am focused on helping people find the long lasting change in their lives they have been striving for. Many of us have had the experience of deciding what we need to do differently and struggle actually implementing that plan. I have confidence in people having the capabilities to come up with their own solutions provided the right support and environment. Trauma and impactful experiences can be barriers getting in the way of accessing or utilizing these solutions. Let's focus on creating the neurological changes you need to help you find the true long lasting healing you desire rather than short term solutions that fizzle out.

Does anger have a grip on you? Anger is one of the two most powerful human emotions. When it controls you, the costs can be astronomical. The pain, shame, and regrets can be immense. Angry outbursts affect relationships, careers, and parenting. Maybe you think you're in control because you suppress it, but that can lead to depression, anxiety, suicidal and homicidal thoughts, and mood disorders. Consequences of anger can include arrest, divorce, broken relationships, and job loss. Health issues can occur, including high blood pressure, ulcers, and headaches. Loved ones often pay through abuse or destruction of their property.

The ideal therapy patient for my practice is someone who desires to make deep, sometimes difficult, and long-lasting changes. Many patients have been in counseling before and have yet to realize the improvements they desire. The types of problems my patients bring to therapy are often a complicated mix of specific symptoms and unsatisfying relationships. I provide a different approach to therapy than many psychologists. While popular therapy models like, CBT, REBT, DBT, and EMDR are powerful and helpful, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy is the treatment of choice for personality disorders and complicated conditions.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
